Say you had a magic wand… 🪄

What’s the one thing you wish you could do to make your life as a developer easier?

[zacwaite]

Automatic stack overflow links every time I get an error

[flushr]

Get rid of procrastination and imposter syndrom

[me_souljah]

Wish for less gatekeeping developers that make the Junior Dev entry a nightmare...

[erykruta]

go back in time and prevent gradle from ever being created

[Sourav]

For us, who doesn't have vertical monitor, to open same file side by side and be able to scroll sync such a way that one side's end is another's beginning

[mateosicard]

a faster way to navigate between cells in notebooks (jupyter notebooks). Also a mimimap in notebooks! 📝

[Vaibav]

Tabs in VSCode should be numbered. Like:

Ctrl+1 should go to the first tab and so on till Ctrl+9 which skips to last tab

Vscode having a secure coding feature, there are so many plugins nowadays you never know where your code is going. Which results in secure code being written airgaped.

[shalevdonmeiri]

It's a super small feature but I wish there was a way to easily remove bracket pairs. Like say you'd expand your selection to include the brackets and then use a 'remove outmost bracket-pair' shortcut.

Making whole world use a single standard. Like you understand how much pain it takes to rewrite whole thing for different operating system. Also different browsers have different capabilities. Making a website work anywhere perfectly is not quite easy.

[jakub]

Embed mode on VSCode, a mode sort of like Zen Mode where all GUI disappears but the window stays out of full screen letting you code with a small window while looking at reference

[MarthinusBosman]

Linting and formatting in jupyter notebooks. Then my life would be complete

[crobes-hx]

Go back in time and prevent null pointers from becoming a thing.

[AdriixA]

I'd love a console help command for each specific language, so if I were to write something like code help "JavaScript" or code help "Python" I'd get the documentation for all of the languages features without having to look it up online

[TheChemicalWorkshop]

hm, actually get a job/aprentice?
that would make MY life easier...

[emmanuelchucks]

A Mac for app development and good internet (I live in Ghana, Africa)

[pankajkhushalani]

I wish every language was as strict as Go so that formatting, naming conventions are common across the codebase. It becomes a struggle seeing different conventions being used in other languages.

[ketanchaudhari]

I wish "windows should be available as a linux distro"

[FranciscoMarcosMilhomemAbreu]

Support to UML from the beginning of the project.

[gheefop]

go back in time and prevent PHP from ever being created
